I can confirm this, it drives me NUTS when trying to reply to HTML
formatted
email using outlook express. Simply hit return a few times and chances are
outlook will crash (no message or nothing, it just goes poof). However if
you go "slowly", i.e. hit enter, wait a bit, hit enter, wait a bit, etc it
seems ok. Outlook Express 6.00.2800.1106 on win2k with all current
patches/etc.

Just tried on OE 5.5 on Win2K - no problems at all - since I have set
Tools->Options->Send to "Text Only" (as I despise HTML email with a
vengeance), the reply has no HTML in it (surprise) and I don't have any
problem with this.
What do you have your send options set to ?   Or is it a OE version thing ?

Cheers.
